I don't think I hate Beyond 2 Souls as much, because if I hadn't it to trade it I couldn't have finally got Tomodatchi Life for cheap.

Yeah but 2 and 3 are a bit crap as well :P

MK1 is actually a better game on the SNES. The megadrive is a poor conversion and plays very different from the arcade. The SNES plays much closer. However since the arcade game is one of the worst fighting games ever made with only the blood to save it then the megadrive version is the only one that retains that 'novelty'.

Yeah the snes one looks and sounds better but has no blood and watered down fatalities, I remember being a smug MD owner at the time :pac: MK2 is really good on the SNES too, nicer graphics and colours much closer to the arcade. MK was fun to bash around on but is as deep as a puddle combat wise, you could finish the game using the same jump kick/sweep/uppercut combo on nearly everyone and the collision detection is godawful.

It's hilarious to think back how controversial MK1 was at the time, The Sun running articles about how all kids were going to wind up ripping their friend's hearts out and having epileptic seizures at the same time.

I can't play Mortal Kombat without seeing Pit fighter and that was such a lousy game.
The non logical special move requirements were just daft, no where near as smooth as SF2.

Star Lord · 22-09-2014 10:04pm

Oh no, not pit fighter! Probably the worst fighting game ever made.

It was so..so bad. I remember CVG gave it a great review so when I spotted one in an arcade I made a beeline for it, it was bloody terrible. The characters all walked like they shat their pants and the punch sound effects were like someone being boxed in the face with a fish.

CiDeRmAn · 23-09-2014 7:38am

The arcade game was as bad.
Utter pants.

Seems like the type of game you'd like, no? :pac:

I liked Pit Fighter because it was so crap. I recall in the arcades back home Pit Fighter being very popular fir a while. It was really between that and Primal Rage. Then Killer Instinct came along and that was the next big thing and Pit Fighter was long forgotten.

I thought it was great. Always remember seeing it in Commodore Format and playing the demo on the Power Pak cover tape. Could never afford the full game though.

Retr0gamer · 23-09-2014 9:16am

I played the crap out of primal rage. Utter crap in retrospect but a giant monkey that farted and used acid piss in a fatality was the height of comedy to my adolescent mind.

Nice attempt but you got the face all wrong!

Got a load of gba games and two gba handhelds from a charity shop today, its actually scary how good the bootlegging is, i'm not sure for most of them to look at if they're legit or not, apart from the ones with nintondo printed on the back of the cart

That reminds me, I also got a Pit Fighter arcade PCB an good-while back. Gathering dust, must flog it

Presume you're netbooting or similar with darksoft files?

CiDeRmAn · 23-09-2014 11:55pm

Its been over a week since I picked anything new.
Starting to get withdrawal symptoms!

Must take a trip to CEX to get my fix!

I on the other hand need to stop.

Remember I said I was done for a while buying expensive rare games... I lied.

On the other hand, I'm looking forward to seeing what you got this time.

Retr0gamer · 24-09-2014 1:07pm

The last thing I got might be a clue to one of them. Got it for a bargain yet still paid through the nose for it. It's also one of the rare occasions where the PAL version is significantly cheaper than the US one although who wants a smelly PAL version?

CosmicSmash · 24-09-2014 1:41pm

Everything seems to be getting more expensive, PAL stuff especially. I don't know how accurate this graph actually is but it feels about right.
I know it's probably based on U.S. releases, but the SFC titles are rising rapidly too.

Picked up an audiophile PS1 from Parcel Motel today.

Now to find an Action Replay. For erm... import reasons. Yeah. Playing imports. That's it.

I'll post pics of it up later. Now to sell my PSOne...

CiDeRmAn · 25-09-2014 5:29pm

Sadly, went into CEX and saw..... nothing

Walked out with COD4:MW, MW2 and MW3 for €19

I just want to say to everyone how sorry I am and if you think I should tender my resignation as a mod of this forum I will

On a brighter note, I avoided buying Knack for the PS4...... but then it's probably going to be free in this Octobers PS+, so, I'm still doomed
